Description

The stable block and attached forecourt wall, located approximately 5 metres to the north-west of Ford House, date from the early 18th century. Constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof, the building is two storeys high and features a dentil brick eaves cornice and parapeted gable ends with chamfered sandstone copings, which are moulded at the base. A small brick ridge stack is present on the roof.

On the north-east front, there is a central circular window on the first floor, flanked by boarded loft doors and pairs of ventilation slits. The ground floor has two 2-light segmental-headed wooden casements on either side of a central depressed-arched entrance, which contains three segmental-headed boarded doors. To the right of the entrance is a large red sandstone hinge block.

Adjoining the south-west side is a short section of forecourt wall, made of red brick with a red sandstone coping. This wall is approximately 7 metres long and one metre high, curving around and ramping up to a square brick gate pier topped with a pyramidal stone cap.

Inside, the stable block features a central ground-floor tack room that includes panelling, a fireplace, and a corner cupboard. The stable block is part of a small courtyard that also includes a barn and a dovecote, all situated to the north-west of Ford House.
